None of what you list below is an operating system, BTW. Furthermore, I
don't think any reasonable person thinks that MS is outright stealing
code. They base their code off of other peoples' software ideas.

No, but MySQL is. Not that I think SQL Server is a copy of MySQL. SQL
Server's performance sucks way too much to be a copy of something that
performs that well.

Here's why: Marketing. MS has the majority of the world believing that
their products are the only reasonable products to use. Their
customers' ignorance is their sales.

But Mac OS isn't open source...

True, Mac Os isn't open source.. but, as of what i know.MS have more then 10%
of Appel shares (i.e. MS ows more then 10% of Apple) and they both have some
kind of agreement to share the codes mutually and, if am right it will make
sense how Ms gets code for MacOs look and feel (thats what the yare doing in MS
Vista)
